Flare out on the mangrove flat - Tampa Bay Spoonie
This most excellent spoonie popped over the tree line and flared out on the mud flat on Tampa Bay while shooting two weeks ago with Capt. James on the Hooptie Deux. A most excellent time was had by all. Thanks again, James.

Post: Selective sharpening, cleaned up a the BG and the mud a bit.
The tiny spikes on the head are out of place feathers.
I was standing waist deep in the bay for this one. You have to do the Hooptie Deux at least once before you leave Florida. It would be like never going to Disney World if you missed it!
If you have some flexibility, James might be able to squeeze you in on an outing with some other folks, if you can't organize your own group.
This is a super image, Randy. It so sharp and light against that dark BG that it almost looks flashed. Love the pose, the sharpness, the colors and the hint of green on the ground.
